a AWD audi to FWD camry swap? hmm they may look the same size but when you lower the "new" engine in I bet it will be a pain, but sure why not w/ enough $$ I bet you could do it. But if you want that much work why not just do the Dodge neon engine into the vette swap!

I'm not talking about just switching out the motor and tranny. I have everything for the camry, ignition, alternator, intake, every thing you need. It's just I'm not sure if it would mount right. (Motor mounts) etc.

And to the first replyer, it's either spend about 8k to replace the motor and tranny or try and fit a "Free from a wrecked" camry in. Which would you do?

how did you ruin the Audi?

in the end youll prob spend just as much getting everything swapped to fit the diff drive plateforms as just getting a new engine

Hey I don't think its completly ruined. It's just a sensor went out on the tranny where it thinks its in 2nd gear and so it won't start. So have to drop the tranny then the motors been making noises lately. Just figure it might be easier to do a swap but didn't know there was that much work. Thanks guys.

there is a bad sensor and some noise. so you wana swap a camry motor and crap in there instead. wtf mate?

90% sure the mounts wont line up, it will be easier to just drop the engine/tranny from the audi and rebuild/replace it.

now if you wanted to swap a toyota vvti engine into a lotus elise, I would say no prob (as they use toyota engines) or a matrix engine into a pontiac vibe (same situation as the elise, except the in that case the vibe IS a matrix lol)

However in YOUR case, just rebuild the audi stuff, it will cost you more in $$ and sweat equity that the car is worth to convert to toyota running gear.

It will cost you more in the long run to get everything to run correctly. You will be much better off fixing the sensor in your Audi. The Audi underside is specific for it's drivetrain. You will have a hard time fitting the drivetrain from the Camry into the Audi.

first off have u even takin it into a shop

they could prolly replace the sensor and find out what the noise is in the engine

would be much easier then a complete overhaul

i had a sensor out in my accord that did close to the same thing
replaced the sensor ran like a charm

It would be easier and cheaper just to take out the Audi motor/trans and rebuild/fix whatever needs to be done. Trying to swap something that was free in there that does not belong there will end up costing you a lot of time, work and a **** load of money.

It shouldn't be all that hard just get a few mechanic friends several cases of beer and plan a good weekend thing...People have been doing drivetrain swaps for years....Look at Carol Shelby's Cobras....You can put Chevy V8's in Porsches and Jags.....Ford V8's in Miatas...I mean the skys the limit :)

I took it to a shop, and none can tell me exactly what it is for sure. For all I know it could be a starter, but about the In 2nd display? I have no idea I thought that is what's causing it? I'm guessing its the tranny sensor from what a few of the guys told me. To the guy above that had this prolbme could you go further in to detail?

Why camry tranny/motor? It was just an idea. One of my buddies from high school crashed his new camry with no insurance on a back road into a ditch and it was done for. So I was going to get the motor and tranny for nothingn pretty much.
